And we do not officiating in the rulebook, we officiate actual players. This is not something that is always identifiable easily and players on defense can make "calls." So if we penalized every time we "thought" this took place, we would be wrong a lot of the time. This is why people warn to make teams aware that we might be onto them, and penalize when it continues or is a little more obvious. If you do not like it, then invent a machine that tells us what someone is thinking when they do something and then we can be accurate if you are a good inventor to figure out when this action takes place.
